Sharing Sondheim

back to So Many Possibilities home page

“Say it soft, and it’s almost like praying.”

We are amplifying our Season of Sondheim with a special project: we challenge ourselves — artists, staff, and audience — to give voice to all of Sondheim’s songs — singing or speaking them aloud before the closing of Sweeney Todd (July 9). We will call this collective effort “Sharing Sondheim,” and it will feature a sing-along series (“Merrily We Sing-Along”), a song analysis series (“Into the Words”), talks and book signings with special guests, and other offerings to be announced.

We will also be highlighting performances and lyric deep dives by artists on our Instagram account @sharingsondheim

If you'd like to participate and share a Sondheim song, here's how to enter:
  1. Choose a song from the list below that is not listed as "Completed" or "To Be Completed."
  2. Film yourself speaking or singing the song in full.
  3. Share your video publicly on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok and tag @sigtheatre.

View our progress in the image below – when a song has been spoken the title will change from black and white to color. Click on the image to expand it and scroll down to see the full song list and see when it was completed!
